Clive explains to her that Sandra was busy and that he recorded it for her so they could watch it now. Sandra gives Maxine and Clive a glass each and she also makes herself one, while Connie's hand is in the air. She responds to this saying that Sandra is rude and Clive insists that Sandra should make her a glass. Sandra informs them that she's watching her show with no distractions and she's not cleaning up after her.
